how personally biased is this statement: it was way more special to see a band on Conan / Kilborn circa 2002-04 than on any late night show today because it was pre-mp3 blog pre-web 2.0 (hah remember that) and that “indie” music hadn’t become the selling giant it is today
or was it special just because you like bands more when you’re 17.
EDIT: and also pre-youtube & fast and ubiquitous internet video streaming
